"Create a distinctive vibe that will ring familiar bells without sounding quite like any of them."

-Associated Press

"There’s an element of magic to the songs on We All the Light that elevate them from just another folk pop album to a much richer work, packed with intricacies that keep you on your toes as you listen."

-No Depression

“The group's razor-honed songwriting and thoughtful vocal harmonies steal the spotlight, but equally impressive is the nuanced musical arsenal they deploy…the band's new record ‘We All the Light’ is a triumph of emotional connection and musical alchemy.”

- WNYC Soundcheck

"Witnessing River Whyless take the stage at The Orange Peel last weekend was no joke. That particular group of musicians — who so deserve every measure of success that they’ve achieved — arrived at their landmark moment with a kind of starstruck awe. But they also played it like bosses, like four artists who’ve honed their sound, grown together as a group and know how to make a spotlit instant into a propulsive, transformative, unforgettable experience."

-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

“This buzzing Asheville four-piece takes the tones and arrangements of Appalachian music and incorporates them into expansive songs dressed up in pop and rock.”
